[Openvpn-users] Re: Tray Showing for OpenVPN GUI Problem

[Lonnie Cumberland <lonnie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Erich,

Actually the problem that I have is similar and flows like this.

If I do a fresh install using my NSIS installer then OpenVPN GUI along 
with the other tray icons show up properly and there is no problems.

If, however, I reboot the computer for some reason then the normal tray 
items show up but the OpenVPN GUI tray icon does not show up any more 
although the openvpn-gui is running as a process in the task list.

To get things showing up again, I either have to uninstall OpenVPN GUI 
or kill the running process and then re-start the OpenVPN GUI application.

Also, all of this is on my XP so I am not sure about 2K.

Hope that this helps,
Lonnie
